Edmonton Unlimited

As the City of Edmonton’s innovation agency, we position Edmonton as an inclusive global innovation capital, supporting innovators as they create companies and solutions to solve the planet’s toughest challenges, including the climate emergency, public health, food security, digital inclusion, and Reconciliation.

By providing local innovators with the right assistance at the right time, we help Edmonton’s entrepreneurs translate their ideas into tangible, growing companies. These made-in-Edmonton solutions are uniquely designed to meet international market demands, attract enlightened investment, and bolster our reputation as a destination of choice for entrepreneurs, accelerators, and bold multinationals. We contribute to the city’s enduring economic vitality, resiliency, and identity, while also fueling jobs, economic opportunities, and civic pride for all Edmontonians.

To nurture this growth, Edmonton Unlimited convenes and supports our city’s varied innovation communities – including academia, civil society, post-secondary and research institutions, and major industries. We are pioneers in the field of “inclusive innovation,” the notion that innovation excels when it is open to all, when it is interdisciplinary, and when it’s recognized and supported in all sectors.

Through a broad prism, we define innovation as anything net new that contributes to significant positive change. By characterizing innovation in this inclusive and expansive way, and uniting innovation with a triple bottom line of people, planet, and prosperity, we can best deliver unlimited returns to Edmontonians.
